Damaz6052 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Had many problems with these inner tubes looks like a manufacturing fault they split on the inner side after a few hundred km......back to the Kenda tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I've never heard of these inner tubes. here in Chiang Mai we can buy Bontrager which are OK but in the UK I prefer Victoria. Victoria offer real lightweight options. I'm not sure about Kenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldfusionPaul Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 just spent 30 minutes trying to get a kenda tube in a panaracer 700x23 up in nakhon nayok, took 3 attempts. it looks like where the valve is attached to the tube is just a bit too big & won't easily fit inside the clincher. needed to pump it up a couple of times to get it to finally fit.

Atmos Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I've been using Vittoria Ultralites (sounds like a contraceptive, but no, 700-23 tubes!) - just looked at the packaging and despite the name, and being an Italian company, they are actually manufactured here in Thailand. Bought a pair of Michelin Speedium 2 tyres recently but don't need to fit them yet - I'm nearly 100km from a cycle shop so pays top keep spares in stock. Tubes cost me 150, tyres 580. Dare I risk it? Yes I'll say it - I have been puncture-free since leaving Phuket in April - love these country roads, though a real hill would be a shock! cheers everyone, and happy cycling.
